We are glad to announce a call for reviews for the Studies in Social and Political Thought Journal. Here the text of the call:
The Studies in Social and Political Thought journal is now calling for book reviews for our upcoming special issue containing a series of papers from a ‘Pathologies of Recognition’ research group, headed by Arto Laitinen. We are looking for reviews that go beyond simply providing a summary of the contents of the books, and offer a critical perspective and make an original contribution to the contemporary debates on the theme of recognition.
We are particularly interested in the following books but we are open to suggestions:
– Jonas Jakobsen & Odin Lysaker, Recognition and Freedom Axel Honneth’s Political Thought (Brill, 2015).
– Heikki Ikäheimo, Anerkennung (De Gruyter, 2014).
– Arto Laitinen et al (eds.) Inwardness and orientation (SoPhi: Jyväskylä, 2014).

If you are interested in submitting a review, please send us an email at ssptreviews@sussex.ac.uk with the title of the book you want to review, a short bio containing your qualifications and current position, and we will inform you within a week as to whether your submission will be accepted. Please, bear in mind that we may not be able to provide you with review copies of the books.
